Just finished day 4, and well, no problems so far, and feeling great!
I do feel a strong urge to smoke after my main dinner, and I do feel like I want a smoke now and again, but its something I can either control, or have a puff on my electric ciggerette (which the battery has run out and im smoking as a dummy fag) and sometimes, it feels no different to the equivilent of wanting a piece of chocolate.
I keep re-thinking what that alcoholic told me on my Day1 post, and of a picture of the lungs on a link that was posted (Marg I think) and I also remember that i have been feeling ill, tired and sluggish for a while and now I feel great, so that wards off any thought of having a smoke.
Have had a few arguments with the wife that we would not normally have, but seem to be calming down more now, and obviously been eating a bit more than usual, especially crisps and snacks, so will monitor my weight, but have been meaning to start a gym program again, so will look into that next week.
Cheers all,
Paul

As you say Paul, it is your body getting rid of the c**p it has built up over the years. Not long till you reach the week mark. It will be here before you know up. Hope you have a good day and keep resisting.
gym programme sounds like a good idea. you'll be amazed by how easy everything is when you get down there. its like youve turned into the hulk or something
Lol Bman, I feel stronger and fitter already, and I havent done anything yet.
Still getting a few pangs now and again. My In-Laws are down for a few days, both smokers, and obviously watching them having a cup of tea in the garden with their fag occasionally gives me a pang, but not a strong enough pang to make me want to grab one.
Also getting a very strng pang after lunch and dinner, but thats about all.
Still feeling much better without the crap, and probably saved at least £50 this week.
Well, Day 6, and I have been really struggling today.
Been really busy, just sold our car, trying to pick a new one, more test drives to do, all stressful stuff, and I've been constantly getting the pang to light up.
Of course I havent, but this has been the hardest day so far.
Talking to my Bro and his missus who have both given up within the last 3 years, they say the first month gets harder? I thought after the first 3 days that was the hardest part????
It differs from person to person. Life has a habit of throwing us some right challenges some times, and we are only human. Sometimes its made to seem like its harder, when its not, its just u make a mistake of listening to the demons a bit
